bar end shifters

[midaz]

I'm currently running touring bars on my touring bike with Deore rapid fire shifters and SLX front and rear derailleurs (9 speed). I'm keen to switch over to mustachio bars as I'm not finding the touring bars as comfortable as my other bike's drop bars. Ive decided to go with the Tecron brake levers as I have v brakes on my bike, but I'm not sure as to which bar end shifters will be compatible with mountain bike derailleurs. Can anyone give me some advice on this?
